Coke Zero has changed my life

Since apparently I am captain product placement - its time for me to introduce a fantastic new invention.

Coke Zero

Well..I guess we should take a step back. Im gonna tell you a little story about how coke zero came to be.

Once upon a time there were some Coke executives sitting around, and they said. "We have this awesome product called Coca-Cola ( ps: Regular coca-cola is awesome. It tastes like heaven. I still get a rush when I twist open the cap of a 20-oz coke, that little hiss is pure nirvana) but American's are getting very fat, so we should create a diet brand of coke. But lets not create this new diet coke based on the old coke (which is good) lets create a whole new recipe using Sweet and Low (which is bad).

Thus, this new diet coke tastes nothing like regular coke-it tastes like poo (gotta get a bodily function reference in).

So now I can't drink Diet Coke (because of the poo) and I feel guilty sucking down gallons of regular coke (over 200 calories for a 20-oz bottle).

EEL is forced to go long periods of time without Coke. Depression ensues.

Flash forward to 2005:

The suddenly brilliant coke executives decide to create Coke Zero.
A no calorie cola that is derived directly from the original coke recipe. Hence, IT TASTES LIKE REAL COKE.

It has single handedly changed my life. And yet somehow NO ONE knows about it. Thus, I am sharing this with you. You should all go out and buy some next time you see it.

You can thank me later.

Also two quotes I want to share with you that pretty much sum up how I feel about being out of college:

"We're adults. When did that happen and how do I make it stop"
(Grey's Anatomy) Really you should all watch..so good

And a litte quote from enbattled Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Tice:
"Sometimes you wake up and you say 'Man, I didn't have anything to drink last night. I didn't eat anything fattening. So why do I want to puke?' Then you realize, 'Oh, that's right.' And you start remembering what's going on in your life."

The end

PS- Danger is right. Im really pissed about the serious lack of John Irving on the Time list. I heart John Irving. Especially "A Prayer for Owen Meany"
